[0010] Preferably, when the connecting member is rotated outward to a horizontal position, the angle between the first extrusion surface and the horizontal plane is 89.0 degrees to 89.6 degrees.

[0011] Preferably, a first damping gasket is symmetrically arranged in the front and rear of the first connecting notch, and the first damping gasket is sleeved on the front and rear ends of the first rotating shaft.

The two ends of the connecting member 31 are respectively rotatably connected to the pedal body 1 and the folding plate 2. The pedal body 1 is provided with a first connecting notch 11 at a position corresponding to the connecting member 31, and the folding plate 2 is provided with a second connecting notch 21 at a position corresponding to the connecting member 31. The two ends of the connecting member 31 extend into the first connecting notch 11 and the second connecting notch 21 respectively. A first rotating shaft 12 is laterally rotatably connected in the first connecting notch 11, the first rotating shaft 12 passes through the inner side of the connecting member 31 and is rotatably connected to the connecting member 31, and a second rotating shaft 22 is laterally rotatably connected in the second connecting notch 21, the second rotating shaft 22 passes through the outer side of the connecting member 31 and is rotatably connected to the connecting member 31.

[0030] The pedal body 1 includes a base plate 4 . A connecting block 41 is provided at a position of the base plate 4 corresponding to the connecting member 31 . The connecting block 41 is detachably connected to the base plate 4 . The first connecting notch 11 is provided on the connecting block 41 .

[0031] The limiting device includes a first limiting structure and a second limiting structure. The first limiting structure includes a connecting surface arranged on the inner side of the first connecting notch 11. The connecting surface includes a first limiting surface 111 and an arc-shaped guide surface 112. The first limiting surface 111 is vertically arranged. The arc-shaped guide surface 112 is located below the first limiting surface 111 and connected to the first limiting surface 111. The inner side surface of the connecting member 31 includes a first arc surface 311 and a first extrusion surface 312. The first extrusion surface 312 is located below the first arc surface 311 and connected to the first arc surface 311.

[0032] The first damping gasket 5 is symmetrically arranged in the front and rear of the first connecting notch 11. The first damping gasket 5 is sleeved on the front and rear ends of the first rotating shaft. The inner side of the first damping gasket 5 abuts against the connecting member 31, and the outer side of the first damping gasket 5 abuts against the first connecting notch 11.

[0033] The second limiting structure includes a second limiting surface 211 vertically arranged on the inner side of the second connecting notch 21, the outer side surface of the connecting member 31 includes a second arc surface 313 and a second extrusion surface 314, the second extrusion surface 314 is located below the second arc surface 313 and is connected to the second arc surface 313, and a second damping gasket 6 is symmetrically arranged front and back in the second connecting notch 21.

[0034] When the folding pedal is in a folded and stored state, the two folding plates are folded and stored at the left and right ends of the top of the base plate respectively. When it needs to be unfolded for use, the folding plate is pulled up and flipped outward to rotate the folding plate around the second rotation axis. When the folding plate rotates outward, the second curved surface does not contact the second limiting surface. When the folding plate rotates outward to a vertical position, the second limiting surface abuts against the second extrusion surface. The folding plate continues to rotate to drive the connecting member to rotate around the first rotation axis. During the rotation of the connecting member around the first rotation axis, the first curved surface does not contact the first limiting surface. When the folding plate rotates outward to a horizontal position, the first extrusion surface on the connecting member The surface is against the first limit surface, limiting the connection part from continuing to rotate. At this time, the connection part and the folding plate are limited and locked, the top surface of the substrate, the top surface of the connection part and the top surface of the folding plate are in the same horizontal plane, the bottom surface of the connection part is parallel to the horizontal plane, the angle between the first extrusion surface and the horizontal plane is close to vertical, and there is a gap between the first extrusion surface and the first limit surface to avoid the connection part from being stuck and unable to rotate due to the influence of processing tolerances, the angle between the second extrusion surface and the horizontal plane is close to vertical, and there is a gap between the second extrusion surface and the second limit surface to avoid the folding plate from being stuck and unable to rotate due to the influence of processing tolerances.

[0035] When the folding plate is rotated outward and unfolded to a horizontal position, the top surface of the connecting piece, the top surface of the folding plate and the top surface of the pedal body are located on the same horizontal plane, and there are no raised obstacles in the middle, which provides sufficient support space for the user's feet. While ensuring comfortable pedaling, it also prevents the user's feet from being tripped by raised obstacles, thereby improving the user's riding comfort.

[0036] During the rotation of the folding plate, the two ends of the second damping gasket always rub against the connecting member and the folding plate. The friction force generated by the second damping gasket when the folding plate rotates can slow down the collision caused by the folding of the folding plate. The two ends of the first damping gasket always rub against the connecting member and the connecting block. The friction force generated by the first damping gasket when the connecting member rotates can slow down the collision caused by the squeezing of the connecting member and the connecting block.

[0037] The first limiting surface is against the first extrusion surface, and the second limiting surface is against the second extrusion surface. The pressure received by the folding plate is transmitted to the second extrusion surface through the second limiting surface, and then transmitted to the first limiting surface through the first extrusion surface. After the two folding plates are unfolded, the two folding plates can bear a static pressure of 350 kilograms.

[0038] A scooter of this embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, it includes a vehicle body 7 and the above-mentioned folding pedal, the folding pedal is arranged on the vehicle body 7, and the width of the folding plate is half of the base plate.

[0039] In this solution, the two folding plates double the pedal surface area when unfolded, allowing the user to place both feet on the unfolded pedal surface simultaneously, improving riding comfort. When folded, the two folding plates overlie the base plate and conform to its dimensions. The user can remove the connecting block based on their body shape, which then separates the folding plates from the base plate.
